Georgia, Tbilisi, Feb. 7 / Trend N.Kirtzkhalia /

The Georgia-NATO cooperation program for 2011 has been completed and approved, the Georgian government reported.

Under the program, Georgia is committed to continuing reforms in politics, economy, defense and security, as well as to develop the legal and educational fields.

NATO is expected to approve the plan on Feb. 11.

Georgian First Deputy State Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Elena Khoshtaria and Deputy Foreign Minister Tornike Gordadze will visit Brussels for this end.

In 2008, the alliance did not provide Georgia with a Membership Action Plan. Afterward, Georgia and NATO began to cooperate on the basis of annual plans.


The draft annual national program for 2011 contains a plan for reforms in the political, economic, legal and educational spheres, as well as in defense and security.

The program, along with the NATO-Georgia Commission, is the main instrument for Georgia to join the alliance.
